Nonna's Sewing Room

A community-sourced network of custom tailors serving the working class.

Our specialty:  we specialize in affordable work-wear for construction & farm workers, as we mend old fabrics and tailor donated items to fit our customers needs (half of our time is spent on sourcing low-priced fabrics, the other half is spent at the sewing machine ... )  🧵❤️

Fabric:  we like to source natural-fiber textiles made from:

• flax  🌿

• cotton 🌱

• hemp 🪴

• wool 🐑

• as well as repurposed scraps (see also:  ScrapsKC)    👔👗🧥👕🦺

Dyes:  

• blue - indigo extract 🪻

• green - wheat grass  🌱

• yellow - dandelion flowers 🌼

• orange - carrot juice 🥕

• red - tart cherry 🍒

• purple - elderberry juice 🍇

Additional services:   

• bug netting outfits 🐝

• anti-microbial & UV fabric coatings 🌞

• COSTUMES (for theater groups) 🎭

• DISGUISES (for journalists, private detectives, celebrities ... ) 😎

Staff:  we employ Italian, Portuguese, Armenian, Kazakh, and Vietnamese tailors.  🌏
